...and here is a list of current, postmending*, Planeswalkers that could be pulled from to make models and rules for this game. With links to each for further background info:
*Postmending being the most likely candidates, since the revision of the background would be the probable course for current marketing of WotC's M:tG brand. This is why premending planeswalkers such as Urza, Yawgmoth, etc. are conspicuously missing from this list.
What is Mana?
Unlike in M:tG, there is not (yet?) any resource management in the form of mana. It is used to simply represent the spheres of influence with the Arena of the Planeswalkers game.
Do you have any questions that you think should be added to this background article?
What and who are Planeswalkers?
Planeswalkers are among the most powerful beings in the multiverse, and are the thematic identities of the players of the game. Planeswalkers can be born at random in any sapient species, with no outward signs of their latent 
. However, there is an incredibly remote chance that any given sentient, natural being will be born with a planeswalker's spark. When that being is put through a period of extreme stress—in many cases death—the spark can trigger, causing the individual to ascend and become a planeswalker.

What is Mana?
Mana is the magical energy that fuels the spells of spellcasters. It is deeply interconnected with the lifeforce on every plane in the Multiverse, and it can take that role by itself as well. When there is little or no mana in an area, things die or become emaciated and weak.

Mana is primarily divided into five colors, but can also be "
